To investigate the feasibility, image quality, and clinical implications of an ultra-low-dose contrast injection computed tomography angiography (CTA) protocol in patients scheduled for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Images obtained with 64-slice CT were retrospectively evaluated 162 TAVI candidates a body mass index (BMI) ≤29 kg/m2. A multiphasic, low iodine dose BMI-adapted CM was administered all (BMI <22 kg/m2: 40 mL; BMI 22–29 55 mL). All images vessel attenuation,...
Abstract Recent clinical and demographical studies on COVID-19 patients have demonstrated that men experience worse outcomes than women. However, in most cases, the data were not stratified according to gender, limiting understanding of real impact gender outcomes. This study aimed evaluate disaggregated in-hospital explore possible interactions between cardiovascular calcifications. Data was derived from sCORE-COVID-19 registry, an Italian multicentre registry enrolled who had undergone a...
Abstract White matter hyperintensities (WMH) can be incidentally found in patients with carotid atherosclerosis on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We investigated the relationship between WMH and characteristics of plaques asymptomatic without indication for revascularization. prospectively screened 235 consecutive stenosis <70%. After excluding confounding causes cerebral damage, 67 underwent computed tomography angiography (CTA), contrast-enhanced ultrasound MRI. Number...
We explored the relation between blood concentrations of monocyte/lymphocyte subsets and carotid artery plaque macrophage content, measured by positron emission tomography (PET) with 11C-PK11195.In 9 patients plaques we performed 11C-PK11195-PET/computed angiography imaging measurement absolute frequencies circulating monocytes T-cell subsets. Plaque standardized uptake value (SUV) for 11C-PK11195 was negatively correlated total (r = -0.58, p 0.05) CD14++CD16-HLA-DR+ classical subset -0.82,...
Extent of subclinical atherosclerosis has been associated with brain parenchymal loss in community-dwelling aged subjects. Identification patient-related and plaque-related markers could identify subjects at higher risk atrophy, independent cerebrovascular accidents. Aim the study was to investigate relation between extent characteristics carotid plaques atrophy asymptomatic patients no indication for revascularization.
A 48-year-old patient was referred for anemia, jaundice, and right upper-quadrant pain, 5 months after a thorough evaluation anemia resulting from obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. Abdominal imaging at admission showed mass in the gallbladder, endoscopic ultrasound confirmed presence of polyp-like lesion with vascular stalk clots within gallbladder. During ultrasound, hemobilia visible (Figures A, B, C, Video 1). Laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed resolution symptoms final diagnosis...
Summary Purpose A large number of patients affected by the SARS-Cov-2 virus worldwide undergo recovery symptoms in about one month. Among these patients, healing process is still under observation, with some need careful clinical monitoring. While radiological findings have been shown to regress almost completely, little knowledge available at moment other complications lung and organs. We then investigated perfusion conditions COVID-19 during recovery. Method retrospectively studied 20 from...
